Discreet with its thin and light black design, the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R7B7 is a versatile laptop with a 15-inch IPS Full HD anti-glare screen that benefits from a good amount of 16 GB RAM and an AMD Hexa Core Ryzen 5500U processor with Radeon Vega 7 graphics part for good performance in everyday use with the ability to run light games and achieve modest processing. This laptop also benefits from enhanced responsiveness by its fast SSD storage of 512 GB, a backlit keyboard, a fingerprint reader or connectivity with USB-C and Wi-Fi ax.

Chassis, connectors, screen of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R7B7
With its thin and light black design, this laptop sports a discreet look.
It has good connectivity with its USB-C, its Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 for remote connections and communications, its useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its Ethernet and audio ports without forgetting its 3 USB all compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in USB 3.0 devices.
As a fingerprint reader is present, it is possible to authenticate by biometric recognition through Windows Hello technology.
We also appreciate being able to backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard to better discern them when the ambient light is limited.
Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical. In addition, the screen lends itself well to the display of High Definition content such as videos due to its precise Full HD definition and its 16/9th format. As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable in bright environments (e.g. outside) than a shiny slab.
In addition, the blue light emitted by the screen is attenuated by up to 30% by Acer Bluelight Shield technology.
Performance, battery life of the Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R7B7
The Acer Aspire 5 A515-45-R7B7 is a 15-inch High Definition laptop intended for versatile use on the go.
It benefits from a good amount of RAM of 16 GB above average very appreciable in multitasking that accompanies very well the processor, an AMD Hexa Core, the APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 5 5500U Lucienne.
This heart may be enough to carry out from time to time modest multimedia processing exploiting RAM and multi-core (e.g. photo editing).
On the other hand, to often perform work heavy in processor and / or graphics resources elsewhere, we benefit from opting instead for a PC based on a non-low-power processor and / or a suitable dedicated graphics card.
Because no dedicated graphics card is embedded here, all the graphics being entrusted to the care of the Radeon Vega 7. Thanks to this modest graphics solution housed in the Ryzen 5 Hexa Core, you can watch photos and videos but also play light titles.
The storage is entrusted here to an SSD which has the advantage of being silent but also less energy-consuming than a hard disk, more robust and much faster.
As a result, thanks to the SSD, starts/stops are much faster as are software launches and processing, and we reach the maps of online games faster for example. More generally, the SSD ensures a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis compared to a simple hard disk.
Here we find a 512 GB SSD, capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. However, in the event that more space is needed, you can use an external storage unit. Opting for a USB-C/USB 3.0 device is then an interesting solution to obtain fast transfers.
As for the autonomy, bet on about 7 hours of operation on battery in light use for this computer whose finesse and the weight contained facilitate the transport.
